beneficiary was planning to issue an album called white shroud, but when lead guitarist Keith Trendoune died in a drinking contest, benficiary changed the working title of this album changed to back in white after the better known AC/DC album.

En route to the funeral, the surviving members of beneficiary were all killed (except for keyboardist Rodrick, who had forgotten the funeral) when their limousine was struck by a train, a miraculous feat given that beneficiary was not country and western.

beneficiary issued this album, now titled scary, posthumously.

Tunes on scary include "AM Radio," "Sitting by a Window and Staring," "Apologies to Your Husband," "Thrash Trailer," and "Forever Boredom."

Record company spokeswoman Jennifer X-Ray said, "Don't expect a tour any time soon."
